Crystal Palace 2-1 Brighton: Nine-man Eagles win dramatic Premier League derby after three red cards
Palace do League double over rivals for first time in 92 years
Nine-man Crystal Palace clung on to a 2-1 lead through 12 minutes of second-half added time at Selhurst Park to secure their first league double over arch-rivals Brighton in 92 years.
Jean-Philippe Mateta fired the hosts in front three minutes in, but Danny Welbeck drew the sides level before the break, surpassing Pascal Gross as Brighton’s top Premier League goal-scorer in the process.
It was an excellent outing from Palace keeper Dean Henderson, competing for England’s number-one spot under Thomas Tuchel, who was in attendance.
